Big Helper

We are finally over our colds!  They lasted a long while and were not very fun.  Hayden still has a tad bit of congestion, but overall we are feeling good again!

This week Kylie has been so cute with Hayden.  She gets super concerned when he cries and is always trying to give him something.  Once this week I put him down on the floor to play and she just surrounded him with all her stuffed animals.

Kylie likes to do the exact same thing we are doing, so when we play with a certain toy with Hayden, she has to do it too.  And then she requests that we play with that toy the exact same way with her...

She is also becoming seriously good with the phone camera.  Sometimes when I scroll through all the pictures that she takes I find some pretty awesome ones:

Yeah, she took those.  Crazy, right?

Since Kylie has been off of her pacifiers, she really likes to be in charge of Hayden's pacifiers.  When he cries she goes off and gets it.  I also catch her intensely staring at one, and I can tell she really wants to put it in her mouth.  Hayden still doesn't really like them, which is fine, but sometimes they are worth the fight to get them in his mouth because almost instantly he is asleep when he sucks on one.

Kylie has this baby doll that she is in love with right now.  And it's not even really a doll... it is the Big Baby figurine from Toy Story 3.  She wraps it up in blankets and carries it around, and when I give Hayden a bath she is right next to me giving her 'baby' a bath.  It's so funny.

Recently Kylie went through a huge growth spurt.  She is so tall now and she hardly fits into any of her 2T clothes, and she is only 2 1/2!  I am down to two dresses that she still fits in... luckily all the clothes she got for Christmas are 3T.  Now that the growth spurt is done she is eating hardly anything.  She will eat half of this or half of that and hardly touch any of her meals.  It freaks me out how little she is eating right now, but I have heard this is normal.

Brandon had a campout this weekend, so it was my first time with Kylie and Hayden all alone for an entire night.  Thankfully everyone behaved (even me!) and went to bed at decent times.  It is really tiring, though, when there isn't anybody there to help out, especially at nights.  So happy I have Brandon around usually to help with things!!
